This...this was a strange little thing. So, this was a creation of sheer human error. Ardbeg 17 accidentally got mixed with some Glen Moray. I’m not sure the age of the Glen Moray (12?). But instead of throwing away the batch, they bottled it. Heck, anything with the name”Ardbeg “ will sell. They can mix shoe polish with Ardbeg, and some bloke reviewer will write “ amazing aroma of tar and diesel, with a palette of classic machine shop oil mixed with brine “ bullshit, and it’ll sell for $1000. This here comes by through a generous sample sent by my friend @LeeEvolved. What started off as a mistake sold for £30, and now commands well north of a few hundred £ . But...Ardbeg or not...this wasn’t for me. I felt as if it lost the Ardbeg brawn in totality. It was soft and smooth. Gone was the smoke and tar, and it was emasculated to a rather run if the mill bakery shop palette. I think if the accident happened with a 10 yr Ardbeg that retained its aggression, maybe the outcome would’ve been better ? As a collector’s item, this is probably one of ages. It’s rare as hell to see an accident like this bottled up and sold. Needless to say—-I’m I’m immensely thankful to Lee—-I don’t think I’d get ever a chance to have an accidental rarity like this. Thanks Lee !
